The Penny is essentially a vital part of our money system. There has been many speculation about whether or not the United States should abolish the penny from being minted any longer. Although the penny has been a part of the American culture since 1787, it has such a small value, it will always be a part of American history.

All five of us kids stand impatiently, surrounding the dirty, white side door attached to the garage of Grandma and Grandpa Pinegar’s home in Orem, Utah. An automatic lock is screwed to the door. We all take turns punching in the code into the lock. The buttons have an orange glow to them, but is only visible in the dark.

That morning, I was sitting on the bench facing the Federal Mint of Philadelphia waiting for Reiley to flash a light to me as a signal. That never happened, because I guess the cops found him face down on the front steps of the mint, shot eight times in the back. I ran from the scene, and the cops caught me and arrested me as a suspect. Some of the gangsters around town called me unloyal, but I

than it is worth, it is a hassle to use and it useless in today's society. The product of the penny cost more to produce than its own worth. “The cost of making the pennies (1.26 cents each) is higher than face value…” (about.com). The United States Mint company is actually losing money when sending pennies out to different companies and places.
